           Summary: Invalid examples using link and meta elements in the
                    body
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC

According to the HMTL5 LC document [1], the link and meta tags may not appear
in the body, and further require a rel attribute (for link) and one of name,
http-equiv, and charset (for meta). 

There are several examples in the HTML Microdata document where this is
violated, e.g. 

<span itemscope><meta itemprop="name" content="The Castle"></span>

in Section 2.2 shows a meta element in the body which does not have name,
http-equiv, or charset.

and further below in Section 5.2.1 appears a link element in the body and
without a rel:

 <link itemprop="http://purl.org/dc/terms/type"
href="http://books.example.com/product-types/BOOK">

There are possibly other places where the document needs to be revised, since
these mistakes seem to be consistent and possibly reflecting an earlier version
of the HTML5 draft where this was allowed.
